Rimms I totally agree with you.  The shop is Onur Silver and the owner's name is Gurbuz.  We go to him all the time as he can be totally trusted.

Yes, we used to use Onur Silver and he always gave us a good deal.  We have a Nationwide card now, so don't need to change money anymore...  We used the guy in the clothes shop a couple of times when we first visited, and my husband used his calculator to check the deal, however, I always thought this guy was creepy and once we read about the rip offs on CBF we did not use him again.

Definitely gets my vote too if you want to change money in Calis. Acroos the main road from Joseph's Bar.

I was thinking, if you don't speak Turkish and you have a problem with someone like the conman at the clothes shop, it doesn't matter. If he's trying to rip you off, speak to whoever you are with in quiet or fast English. Just make sure the one word he definitely hears is ZABITA. On hearing that you could well find the conman will change his attitude, because they really don't want them turning up. Will work anywhere.

Today's valuable Turkish word: ZA-BI-TA, make sure you know it  ;)

Strange that you are saying that Rimms. When you have actually been telling people to go to this very same man.

Reason: Telling people not to change their money in a clothes shop then recommending a man in a silver shop? :D
